“Ald. Waguespack is encouraging any constituent who believes their property assessment may be high relative to similarly situated properties to submit an appeal to help improve the uniformity and fairness of property assessments in the Ward,” said director of outreach Elizabeth Gomez in a statement to Roscoe View Journal.

Personal finance experts recommend appealing property taxes because “you have nothing to lose.” Look closely at your bill to find errors and to see if you agree with what the assessor considers your home to be worth.

If you can’t make it out to the open clinic, Ald. Waguespack’s office will be able to assist residents on their appeal. Those wishing to appeal can drop off their forms at the Ward office until Feb. 9.
